Lyrics

there is something
sick in my bones
sick in my lungs
flowers blooming sadly up my throat
i cannot breathe without knowing you
i cannot live without loving it, too
you were smiling
tears running down your flushed cheeks
and i could not speak
with your blood on my shoulder
my heart
stopped
when you died all i could do was cough
and cough
and cough
and cough
come back to me, angel
come back with the sun
my fingers are cold now
my lips have gone numb
i am sitting on the concrete
i am throwing up my love
what did you expect from me, baby?
with these flowers in my lungs?
you should’ve known
i do, i do
i should’ve done something more
but i sang, didn’t i?
and you called it magic
now it’s tragic you don’t hear music no more
under the lamplight
inside my car
traveling through time
you were always the one
pulling me from hell
and healing my wounds
each punch was a daydream
i was drowning in you
come back to me, angel
come back with the sun
my fingers are cold now
my lips have gone numb
i am sitting on the concrete
i am throwing up my love
what did you expect from me, baby?
with these flowers in my lungs?
and it’s rotting my body from the inside out
i am suffocating, slowly, from the force of my longing
how could you not know when i didnt dare hide it
now you’re gone and i’m not and my life, it means nothing
beautiful, beautiful
that’s what you said about my soul
come back to me, angel
and i will show you something more
